Chapter 720: Saida's Excitement

"Living octopus"—Golf, an A5 Peak Terror Lifeform, who liked to devour biological entities on a large scale and had already caused massacres on the scale of over fifty star systems.

In the information Li Yu had grasped, this group of Terror Lifeforms had been recalled to the Ancient Starpath by the Fallen Titan to serve as his assistance.

The vast majority of Terror Lifeforms had returned to the Ancient Starpath in a silent manner, without causing too much of a stir.

Except for this Golf. It just so happened to pass by the Baroft Entry Point and couldn't resist devouring all the lifeforms in the entire Navigation Point.

And the Pawn Li Yu selected was precisely it.

All the lifeforms in the entire Navigation Point raised their heads, looking in horror at the changes in the Universe.

It was a massive lifeform, like a giant octopus, with purple and green Energy lingering around its body. It was so dense it seemed tangible, like a flowing liquid.

Its giant black-purple tentacles had sucker-like granules on them, resembling continuously bubbling and boiling potions, expanding unceasingly.

The Energy twisted and danced wildly, condensing into near-tangible semi-transparent black-purple Energy Tentacles, which began to cover the outer Energy Barrier of the Baroft Entry Point.

Ron, lying on the ground, stared blankly at this scene. His body was undergoing some kind of wondrous change, with strands of lightning lingering in his pupils.

But he was now attracted by the massive Golf.

The things that happened in this short moment had already far exceeded his past twenty-plus years of experience.

The guards of the Baroft Entry Point weren't idle either, swiftly launching a counterattack. Concentrated Energy Beams gathered, paused for a moment, and violently shot toward Golf.

However, in the next moment, the purple and green Energy on Golf's body twisted, wrapping it inside and forming an outer coat.

The Energy Beams bombarded it but were unable to penetrate, leaving it seemingly unscathed.

The hideous Golf possessed a certain Mental Pollution Field. Just looking at it made a large number of lifeforms feel palpitations and shortness of breath.

A-Tier Lifeforms continuously attacked, yet the purple Energy wrapping Golf was incomparably tough, blocking all attacks. No one knew what kind of nature this Energy possessed.

The level of the A-Tier Lifeform responsible for guarding the Baroft Entry Point wasn't too high either. Very quickly, dense beads of sweat popped up on his forehead.

He recognized this guy before him; it wasn't something he could handle at all.

Right at this moment, Golf emitted a terrifying Mental Fluctuation: "Merge into one with me!"

Boom!

The Energy blossomed with a boom, spreading as if there was no end, dyeing the outside of the Navigation Point into intertwined black and green colors.

Endless Energy Tentacles extended out of thin air in space, flailing about unconsciously. The Energy Shield flashed violently with Electric Arcs.

This sudden disaster caused immense panic. Everyone was fleeing in a hurry, wanting to leave this place.

However, Golf's tentacles had already locked down all the exits.

Those who could come to make a living in the Ancient Starpath naturally had some skills; even Ron was a D-Class Lifeform.

To Golf, this was tantamount to a large cake.

Just as the numerous lifeforms were in panic, an astonishing Aura accompanied by a golden Light Beam suddenly erupted from within the Baroft Entry Point.

"Stop!"

A stern shout came, Thunder roared, and instantly broke a large number of Golf's tentacles.

Golf suddenly perceived a dangerous Aura, and its movements couldn't help but pause.

The numerous lifeforms in the Baroft Entry Point looked at that powerful lifeform that appeared abruptly.

Who is it?

Such a doubt couldn't help but surface in their minds.

Only Ron, still lying on the ground, had a trace of excitement flash across his eyes.

It's really Dragon Sovereign; it wasn't an illusion just now!

The mysterious powerhouse was wrapped in dense Energy; no one could identify him.

Boom!

A massive amount of black and red Thunder fell like rain. Golf, who originally couldn't be seen taking any damage no matter how it was attacked, now felt bursts of intense pain.

"It's you!" Golf recognized this guy. After all, he was the person their Boss specifically named to find.

But he didn't expect to run into the other party here.

"What a coincidence. I was just worrying about having nowhere to find you guys. Where is he!" Li Yu questioned, his powerful Aura overwhelming the heavens and the earth.

He knows about the Boss's existence!?

Golf was shocked inwardly, knowing things had gone south.

The Boss had told them not to cause a big commotion and quietly return to the Ancient Starpath.

Failing to hold back for a moment was already considered a violation of the rules, yet he had the bad luck to run into the target.

This guy was clearly looking for the Boss as well. If he was caught by him, he'd definitely be doomed.

Run!

Golf didn't hesitate at all. Its massive body didn't show the slightest sluggishness as it directly turned around and fled into the Ancient Starpath.

Those who could come into contact with the Fallen Titan were all at the very top among the Terror Lifeforms, and their numbers weren't many.

The strongest among them, like the Two-Headed Troll, Six-Armed Titan, and Siren, were already comparable to A5 Peak.

Slightly weaker ones were like Golf, who knew he absolutely couldn't beat this guy.

Fleeing in normal Interstellar space, he might not necessarily outrun the other party. Only the chaotic Ancient Starpath could give him a way to survive.

"Where are you running!" Li Yu, his entire body wrapped in Lightning Glow, also chased after the traces of the other party's escape.

The chaotic Baroft Entry Point gradually calmed down. Ron, lying on the ground, also regained control over his body.

He could vaguely feel that his body seemed to have become different in some aspects, but he couldn't quite articulate exactly what it was.

An aged figure squeezed out from the chaotic crowd, hurriedly helped him up from the ground, and said in an anxious tone:

"Ron, are you... are you alright?"

It was exactly his father.

Ron shook his head, clenched his fists, a flash of Lightning Glow appearing, and said in a somewhat joyous tone: "I feel unprecedentedly good..."

......

In the chaotic Ancient Starpath, Golf's speed was extremely fast. Biological entities like them were similar to Void Behemoths and could use the void to escape.

And it could even be said to be quite proficient at this.

However, he could still feel that the guy behind him was like Bone-Attached Gangrene, locking onto him firmly.

He even fired off astonishingly powerful attacks from time to time, forcing it to dodge.

"Hasn't this guy been hiding from the Star Glory Empire? Why would he suddenly appear here!" Golf's Spiritual Body roared, but its speed never slowed down.

Moreover, its size was gradually shrinking, and its speed was also progressively increasing.

"This guy's escape speed is really astonishing. No wonder I lost track of him several times." Li Yu couldn't help but click his tongue.

In the possibilities he foresaw, there were several times he lost track of this guy. So he used multiple gems to assist right from the start, which was why he firmly followed behind him.

Furthermore, he fired attacks, forcing him to change course from time to time.

One chasing, one fleeing. Who knew how much time had passed, but Golf's size had shrunk to the size of a palm, and its speed had increased several times over.

But the guy behind still followed him doggedly, completely unable to be shaken off.

And right at this moment, he suddenly felt a region of stable space ahead, and also sensed the fluctuations of a massive number of lifeforms.

Among them, several were quite formidable, clearly not simple.

"I can't hold on for too long; I can only try..." This thought popped up in Golf's mind.

In an instant, its speed soared again, and the Aura on its body continuously weakened, becoming almost non-existent.

When he rushed into the region he just perceived, it was basically impossible to lock onto his Aura anymore. At the same time, the Auras of other lifeforms rushed over, extremely mixed.

And Li Yu, whose bodily Aura was formidable, instantly became the object of everyone's attention.

This was a city suspended in the Ancient Starpath—The Fallen City.

The Aura from Li Yu's body surged, yet his eyes were very indifferent.

"The Fallen City. Right now it should have already fallen into the hands of the Star Glory Empire. Their main force should be rushing here. Currently, it seems Saida is taking over..."

"From her discovering me, to reporting through special methods, and then to the arrival of the Star Glory Empire's Super Lifeforms, the shortest time is twenty-seven minutes."

"Which also means I must leave here in twenty-five minutes..."

He had encountered this kind of scene countless times. What would happen at what time, and how to avoid the risks—he had long been thoroughly familiar with it.

Saida was merely a vanguard, responsible for receiving The Fallen City as a foothold for the Star Glory Empire.

At the same time, The Fallen City's defense mechanism immediately detected this lifeform whose Energy index exceeded the standard.

Saida stared at the figure with a surging Aura on the Holographic Screen. Her slender body wrapped in a combat uniform trembled slightly, and an unconscious flush surfaced on her face.

"Dragon Sovereign!"

She couldn't help but shout in a low voice. The enemy the Star Glory Empire had tried everything to find, but couldn't, had simply appeared before her eyes just like that.

"I didn't expect to actually meet you in such a way."

She instantly realized that this was a god-given opportunity. Such a massive Merit was enough to allow the person she followed to take a huge step forward.

The other party definitely didn't know that The Fallen City was already controlled by the Star Glory Empire. As long as enough time was delayed, the Empire could totally end this heavily mobilized war directly.

"Where is the Controller of The Fallen City!?" Li Yu's Mental Fluctuation swept over.

"Where's Walker, has he left!?" Saida shouted: "Tell him to think of every means to stall Li Yu. No matter what conditions, the Empire will agree!"

......

"Your Excellency Dragon Lord, why did you suddenly come without even a greeting." Walker appeared with an amicable smile.

"Your Excellency Excavator?" Li Yu's form of address made Walker's expression stiffen slightly.

Others' titles all possessed an Illustrious reputation, like Li Yu's "Star Breaker", "Emperor Slayer", "Dragon Sovereign", "Head of the Alliance", and a series of other titles, each one representing an astonishing battle record.

But Walker's nickname was "Excavator", meaning he only had everything he did now because he was lucky and discovered a Civilization Ruin.

Nicknames couldn't be changed by one's own will; he had no choice either.

This nickname had somewhat of an insulting nature, so Walker was somewhat displeased.

However, remembering Saida's conditions, he could only suppress the displeasure in his heart and said: "It's me. Your Excellency Dragon Lord can call me Walker."

"I wonder why you've suddenly graced us with your presence, what's the matter?"

Li Yu said unceremoniously: "I'm tracking a dangerous Terror Lifeform. He hid in The Fallen City. I now demand you lock down the entire Fallen City and not allow any lifeform to enter or exit."

If it were in the past, he definitely wouldn't have agreed to this request; locking down The Fallen City would bring him immense losses.

But now The Fallen City didn't belong to him anymore, so a loss was just a loss.

"A Terror Lifeform?" He feigned surprise, and then said solemnly: "Please rest assured, Terror Lifeforms are enemies of everyone and must be killed. I will lock down The Fallen City right away."

"However, I didn't perceive any situation just now. It must be a guy adept at hiding. Why don't we go down and wait slowly."

Li Yu glanced at him. This guy was a smiling tiger. Walker originally didn't know what exactly happened in the Ancient Starpath, but he very decisively withdrew and retreated.

Yet he also attempted to Play Both Sides, putting a price on the vast amount of information he grasped to multiple factions, but never selling one piece of information to a second faction.

Greedy yet cautious.

"Alright..." Li Yu's expression softened as he landed in The Fallen City.

At the same time, the entire city began to lock down; Golf had already been locked inside The Fallen City.

Saida watched all this closely in secret, the Crystal Orb in her hands emitting a lustrous glow, and said in a low voice:

"Just twenty-seven minutes..."

"In twenty-seven minutes, you'll have nowhere to run."

She suppressed her inner excitement. Twenty-seven minutes, in her eyes, was not a long time.

Li Yu had absolutely no reason to leave here. He had his own purpose, and it was even more impossible for him to know that The Fallen City had already changed hands.

"Your Excellency Dragon Lord's Illustrious reputation has spread throughout the Interstellar space. I heard Your Excellency is also the chairman of the A-Tier Alliance. I'm also very interested in the A-Tier Alliance; I wonder if there's a chance to join it."

Walker chatted idly, having already thought out what conditions he would raise with the Star Glory Empire.

"No problem, fill out a form..." Li Yu smiled slightly, projecting a Membership Application Form.

One more person meant one more buff, one more portion of power. Li Yu didn't mind.

Walker was stunned. He looked at the form, then looked at Li Yu.

This guy was just in an incredible hurry, why did he have the time to make me fill out a form now.

However, since he was stalling for time anyway, the time taken to fill out a form could stall for some more time. At worst, he could just quit later.

He received the form, read it carefully, filled in his name, and submitted it for review.

Li Yu directly utilized his chairman Authority, passing his application, and gaining another Tool Person.
